It’s Britney, bxtch. I’ll always remember buying and fangirling over those 90’s casette tapes of JLo and Britney when I was younger. Attempting to sing like them (nope, no chance), dress like them (nope, too young) and lastly – have pretty hair like theirs.  Korean salon in Bel-Air, Makati I’ve always wanted highlights but people somehow made it seem like it might be too over the top or unnatural … until you meet the right people who know their stuff.
